Ben Lomond High School art students recently explored the culture of Día de los Muertos by creating Alebrijes, which are brightly painted folk art spirit creatures. The project focused on the Mexican holiday that celebrates the memory of loved ones.
Local artist and Ben Lomond alumnus Leon Araujo visited classes to guide students and donate supplies for the project. Araujo also helps organize the Día de los Muertos celebration and art contest.
Over 40 entries from Ben Lomond students will be on display at the First Friday Art Stroll at The Monarch on November 6.
The art stroll offers an opportunity for the community to support student artists and view the completed masterpieces.
